Two stubborn hearts. One ancient rivalry. A love sweeter than baklava.
Defne Kaya is a Turkish travel blogger with a sharp tongue, a camera in hand, and absolutely no patience for mediocre food-or arrogant bakers.
Nikos Petrakis is a Greek baklava maker with a family bakery, a traditional recipe, and absolutely no patience for Turkish bloggers who think they know everything.
When Defne posts a brutally honest review of Nikos's baklava, she accidentally starts an international food war.
What begins as a hilarious online feud soon becomes the internet's favourite rivalry. But when the two are forced to work together on a travel documentary exploring the culinary connections between Greece and Türkiye, escaping each other becomes impossible.
From Istanbul to Thessaloniki, from disastrous cooking challenges to accidental hotel-room mishaps, Defne and Nikos argue, compete, sabotage each other's recipes-and slowly discover that the line between "I can't stand you" and "I can't live without you" is surprisingly thin.
But falling in love with your sworn culinary enemy is complicated.
Especially when your families have been arguing about baklava for generations.
Especially when your entire romance is being watched by millions of followers.
And especially when the person you promised to hate might just be the one person who truly understands you.
Because sometimes love comes in layers.
Just like baklava.
And sometimes, before you find your happily ever after...
You have to break up over baklava.
